Transportation

Personal Car

Many students have a personal car throughout their
study and stay at the Institution. Please be aware,
though that due to a large number of traffic through
Woods Hole, during the summer months it can be quite
difficult to find parking.

Parking

On arrival, staff and students are required to obtain
a parking sticker to access the campus parking lots.
Information about the sticker will be provided to you
during your orientation.

The Institution encourages carpooling because of environmental
concerns, limited parking, and to help you save money.»

and rollerblading in addition to biking. A small parking
area is located across the street from the beginning of
the trail on Locust Street & Woods Hole Road. »

*Please Note. Pedestrians, bicycles, and vehicles must
obey all traffic control devices. Pedestrians have the
right-of-way at marked crosswalks, in intersections, and
on sidewalks extending across a service drive, building
entrance, or driveway. Pedestrians should not leave the
curb or their place of safety and walk or run into the
path of a vehicle that is so close that it is impossible
for the driver to yield. Pedestrians may cross an intersection
diagonally where permitted by special pavement marking.
Pedestrians crossing a street at any point other than
within a marked crosswalk at an intersection should yield
the right-of-way to all vehicles.
